To find the percent error, we use the formula:
Percent Error = (|Measured Value - Actual Value| / Actual Value) * 100
In this case, the measured value (what Teresa estimated) is 18 feet and the actual value is 16 feet.
So, the percent error is:
(18 - 16) / 16 * 100 = 2 / 16 * 100 = 0.125 * 100 = 12.5%
Therefore, Teresa's percent error is 12.5%.
